Our greater food culture

July 7, 2011 by Melissa Abbott — Director, Culinary Insights, The Hartman Group, Inc

In the spirit of celebrating contemporary food culture, this subway-style map (below, orclick here for a larger view) is intended to serve as a snapshot of the main actors, techniques, values and ideas representing today's culinary zeitgeist. From chefs and the media, to packaged goods and food politics, these "stops" are suggestive of the people, places and things that have influenced the food world (some more directly than others), thereby becoming part of our Greater Food Culture.

Take a ride on the Modern Line, stopping off at Thomas Keller and then maybe head onto the Global Line, paying a visit to David Chang. Wherever you go, you're likely to learn a bit, be entertained and most certainly eat quite well.
